[PATCH 1/2] alpha-module: Improve a size determination in module_frob_arch_sections()

Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.
